Lyrics:

VERSE 1:



I can't believe it,

the way you look sometimes,

like a trampled flag on a city street.

Oh yeh.



And I don't want it,

the things you're offering me,

symilized barcode, quick I.D.

Oh yeh.



CHORUS:



'Cuz I'm a 21st century digital boy,

I don't know how to live, but i've got a lot of toys.

My Daddy's a lazy middle-class intellectual,

my Mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual.

Ain't life a mystery?

Yeh.



VERSE 2:



I can't explain it,

the things you're saying to me.

It's going, 'yah yah yah yah yah yah yah.'

Oh yeh.



Cuz I'm a 21st century digital boy.

I don't know how to read but i got a lot of toys.

My Daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual,

my Mommy's on Valium so ineffectual.

Ain't life a mystery?

Yeh.



BRIDGE:



I tried to tell you about no control,

but now I really don't know,

and then you told me how bad you had to suffer.

Is that all you really had to offer?



CHORUS:



'Cuz I'm a 21st century digital boy

I don't know how to live, but I've got a lot of toys.

My Daddy's a lazy, middle-class intellectual,

my Mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual.



21st century digital boy...

21st century digital boy...

21st century digital boy...



'Everything I want I really don't need.'

Ain't life a mystery?

Yeh.
